There are 176 children on roll at present. Children are admitted on a part-time basis in the September following their fourth birthday in our Foundation stage unit. All pupils then attend full-time after Christmas. The children are grouped into two Reception registration groups, two Year 1 classes and two Year 2 classes. The children are taught in mixed ability classes. Experienced Teaching Assistants support each class across the school. The majority of children achieve very highly in end of Key Stage 1 tests. Following the results for 2000 the school received an Excellence Award from the DfES. The school was invited to become a Beacon school from September 2001. The school met the standards for the "Investors in People" award scheme in February 2001 and this was successfully renewed in 2004. We were awarded the 'Buckinghamshire Healthy school standard' in July 2007. The school enjoys strong support from parents and has many links with the local community.
Tylers Green First School is a community school for children aged four to seven years. The "village school" as it has always been known serves the villages of Penn, Tylers Green and surrounding areas and celebrated it's 125th birthday in the autumn of 2001.
In July 2004 the school was given a Highly Commended award from the Buckinghamshire Swan Award Scheme for the work done on developing the school playground and the Reception outdoor play area.
The school has introduced the use of 'Golden Rules' as the primary rule system for the School Behaviour Policy. These 'Golden Rules' remind children how to behave throughout the school day and hopefully outside school as well. Posters describing these rules are on display around the school and in every classroom.
